What people are saying

by a student
Wednesday, June 24, 2009

I am a student in this high school and i think the school is showing a big progress. One of my favorites thing about this high school is the attention every teacher gives to the students. They show a huge passion for their work, they enjoy helping and teaching the students. The only thing i would like to see in Chelsea is to build a new building, yo have a better auditorium, a gym and a better cafeteria but everything else is perfect. When i go i feel safe and i am really learning a lot in this school. Close Quote
